BFG Video Game

Got it.  How do you bind groups?  The controls look like you should be able to bind ships into squadrons, but whenever I hit the key nothing happens.

[Andrewchristlieb]

Drag a box around your ships you want together and ctrl+number whichever group you want them in.

I finally made it to level 7 in my solo skirmish as the IN! Has anyone tried out the Orks yet?

News!!!

Space marines for all preorder folks, then an extra Mystery fleet to be released in a few months for those who pre ordered the game for free! if you did not preorder then it looks like you have to pay for the option of the other 2 fleets. Correction, space marines for free for those who purchase the game in the first 2 months afte release as well.

Tau? 

[Ruckdog]

It has to be Necrons of course 

[Ulric the Grey]

Well if its the Tau, I quite. Mainly because I hate the Tau....

If its necrons I quite.... They are too OP.

[Stephan]

I'd be good with either.  I just wish they'd fix the campaign so you can save progress.

[Ulric the Grey]

Well it has not officially released yet. Maybe this week with Eldar release?

[Ruckdog]

Looks like the campaign hasn't been implemented yet. Hopefully soon!

I've played a few games with the Eldar so far...wow, do they play differently than the other factions! As one might expect, they require a lot of finesse to play. So far, the biggest thing I've learned is to always, ALWAYS, keep moving. I keep unintentionally ramming my ships into things though  .

[Ruckdog]

As of today, the campaign is fully available! Near as I can tell, BFG:A is now fully released. There is even a cool new trailer:

The devs put up a big news post on Steam:

Looks like the Tau will be the next faction after the Space Marines!

[Stephan]

So, how's everyone liking the game?  I've been working through the campaign and it definitely starts to give a feeling of being overwhelmed since you lose planets faster than you can recover them.  I also just discovered the graphics changes that occur when you put a Favor onto one of your ships.  I put the mechanicum favor on a cruiser and now it's red with a big mechanicus symbol on the front.  I can't wait to see what happens when I put an Inquisition Favor on one of the ships.

[Ruckdog]

I noticed the same thing with favors when I put Space Marines on one of my cruisers!

I have to be honest, though...I haven't loaded this up for a couple of weeks. My limited gaming time has been going towards WoWS lately  . I do plan on trying to get a bit further in the campaign this weekend, though.

[Ruckdog]

Two big developments! First, a major patch has been released:

Lots of minor and major changes here. Anyone interested in a Co-op vs. the AI?

Second, the Space Marines now have a solid release date of 21 June!
